The Music of Silence

Music Of Silence chronicles the life of world famous opera singer Andrea Boccelli, from his beginning as a singer in Italian piano bars to his phenomenal success on the world stage. The film features magnificent panoramic scenery of Boccelli's native Tuscany and a superb musical score, as well as, first rate performances by a fine cast. It is a must see for fans of Boccelli, and opera music in general.

I have enjoyed opera when exposed to it. This film expanded my heart. At the end, tears of joy were flowing down my cheeks. Thank you to all the talented actors and singers in this movie. Well done. I do believe I will become a fan of Andrea Bocelli. Amazing life and truly divinely inspired.

A strongly recommended film especially for those looking for an alternative to action-driven films with little substance. This is quite a drama tough so be ready for some tears or emotional moments.

Bocelli's lifestory is tough and makes quite an underdog story. For me, the drama was created and elevated by the relationship of Bocelli with four women these being his mother/primary school teacher/maestro's wife and his wife. These talented actors bring such a force of life into the film that I wish I could watch more of them in other films.

And the maestro, I never knew Banderas could be such an accomplished actor as I always took him for a showy pop actor. I was mistaken. It would be great to see him in more classical roles.

I loved learning about Andrea Boccelli's life and am inspired by him, and admire and love him very much. The acting was very good, and Antonio Banderas was fabulous.

I was only disappointed with the fact, I am Italian and this was in English. The Queen's English spoken by Italians is dreadful and unnatural. I would have preferred English subtitles.

This is not a concert nor an authentic Italian movie experience. This is, however, a remarkable Americanized version of Amos'/Andre's struggles and triumphs in his early life. A must see for fans...and an inspirational story for all.
